[Verse]
A F#m D
In and out
A
That's the way in
F#m D
I saw an old sign
A
When my world was way down
Dm F#m
Quiet on the streets
A
So I climbed the stairs
D F#m
To the rarified air
A
I've been on fire
F#m D
Made from my thoughts
A
I thought up my life by
[Verse 2]
A F#m D
Out then back in
A
That's the way to begin
Dm F#m
But I had to climb down
A
Into today
F#m
And give up the pain
A
I held myself up by
[Chorus]
D F#m A
Baby, be simple
D F#m
Baby, be simple,
A
Be simple
E
Be simple with me
[Verse 3]
A F#m D
Out, thicker skin
A
That's no way to begin
F#m D
Come with your true arc
A
To fall all the way down
Dm F#m
Like an empire
A
Into a kingdom of guts
D F#m
To become a rooftop
C#
I built me from the bedrock
A#m F#
Made me right up
C#
Ignited little tunes
A#m F#
While the wind was still
C#
Trying to find a way to tell you
A#m F#
If or not the true arc
C#
Is even there
A#m F#
Or on a pillow of air
C#
I'll rip me apart by the lore
A#m F#
Cause to become that rooftop
G#
I had to fall all the way down
[Chorus 3]
F# C#
Baby, be simple
F# F#m A#m
Baaaaaby, please be simple
C#
Be simple
G#
Be simple with me
[Outro]
C# A#m F# F#m
